AIR OPERATED PROJECTILE FIRING APPARATUS This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 469,987, filed July 7, 1965, now abandoned.
This invention relates to air operated projectile firing apparatus of the type adapted to utilize ammunition having a projectile portion and an associated propellant portion capable of being ignited by surface contact with high temperature air.
This invention is related to and adapted to be utilized with apparatus of the type disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 473.556 filed July 7, 1965, for Air Operated Projectile Firing Apparatus.
The objects and advantages of the invention have been attained by utilization of the inventive principles disclosed hereinafter by reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view, in section, of a projectile firing device having a new and improved valve assembly; and
FIG. 2 is an end view ofthe valve assembly.
In general, the invention is in the provision of a new and improved valve assembly in apparatus for firing projectiles which is eharacterizedby the provision of a valve chamber adapted to floatingly receive a valve member between afiring chamber in which a propellant is ignitable by surface contact with'high temperature air and air'compression means for'obtaining the high temperature air, a valve member floatingly mounted in the valve chamber for movement between an open position permittingflow of high temperature air from the air compression means to the firing chamber and a closed position preventing flow of high temperature high pressure gases from the firing chamber to the air compression means after ignition of the propellant and forming a rigid reaction wall therebetween, and retaining means floatingly retaining said valve in said valve chamber.
Referring now to the drawing, barrel means l and a compression means 12 are connected, in a firing position, by breech means 14. Ammunition holding means 16 comprising a central bore 18 having stepped portions 20, 22, 24 supports the ammunition 26 which has a propellant portion 27 ignitable by surface contactwith high temperature air to drive the projectile throughthe barrel. An obturating plug 28 of integral one-piece construction is mounted in a compression cylinder head 30 and supports the valve assembly 32 in a central bore 34 which provides a passage having a longitudinally extending central axis connecting air compression chamber 36 to firing chamber 38. Thefirst part of the passage adjacent the compression chamber has a perimeter of reduced diameter relative to the remainder of the passage.
The valve assembly 32 comprises valve means 40, in the form of a ball valve, and valve seat means 42 in the form of a conical surface along a second part of the passage next adjacent the reduced diameter'part and formed by an outwardly diverging surface. The valve seat is formed in a rigid reaction wall 43 and faces away from the air compression chamber toward the firing chamber. A valve chamber 44 is formed in a third part of the passage next adjacent the valve seat by an enlarged cylindrical bore at the end of the valve seat. The valve chamber is larger than the ball valve so as to floatingly support the valve. Retaining-means 46 are provided at the end of the valve chamber 44. In the illustrative embodiment, the retaining means comprises a one-piece coil spring element 48 compressible fixedly mounted in an enlarged retainer seat 50 formed in a fourth part of the passage next adjacent the valve chamber and extending along the wall of the passage from the valve chamber to the firing chamber and mounted to floatingly retain the valve between the end of the retainer and the valve seat. It may be observed that the coil spring element 48, in the illustrative embodiment. comprises a length of resilient spring sheet material wound into coil form, compressed, inserted into the valve chamber, and held therein by spring-like expansion forces. The width of the polygonal sheet material is substantially equal to the length of the retainer seat. Passage means 52 are thus provided through the retainer means to connect the firing chamber to the compression chamber. A transverse surface of the retainer extends across the passage and blocks the valve chamber to keep the ball valve therewithin.
In operation, the ball valve is normally maintained in an open position permitting flow of high temperature air from the compression chamber to the firing chamber formed in the illustrative embodiment by a fifth part of the passage and of enlarged size so as to receive the propellant and permit the retainer and the valve to be inserted and removed through the firing chamber end of the passage. When the pressure in the firing chamber, including passage means 52 and valve chamber 44, exceeds the pressure in the compression chamber, the ball valve is moved onto the conical seat to close the firing chamber relative to the compression chamber and to provide a rigid reaction wall across the flow passage.
While the illustrative embodiment of the inventive principles hereinbefore disclosed has particular advantages, it will be recognized that certain details of construction may be modified and varied without departing from the fair meaning and intended scope of the claims.
